    @Muxywithmoxie please clarify if you can. Sikh and Muslim are not the same. I have friends at the Islamic center. It's not in oak creek
  11. Muxywithmoxie
    My friend who told me about the shooting did not mean to mix up "Sikh" & "Islamic" & she feels bad. She's very pregnant & was in the moment.
